Whether you prefer impromptu dance parties with the sand under your toes or romantic strolls, it’s no surprise that the beach is a must-visit summertime destination. Although beachwear calls for the perfect bikini and a floppy fedora, an essential sundress can flatter your curves and also offer you a hint of modesty. From flirty lengths to flowing maxi dresses, we’ve rounded up five gorgeous and seasonal dresses to sport on your next beach getaway.

1) Elan Cover-Up Slipdress, $52: Try channelling the sunshine and bringing light pastel yellows into your sartorial statement for the beach. This floaty, sheer slip dress features a low scoop back and a funky asymmetrical hem.

2) Everly Floral Woven Maxi, $100: For a punchy approach to Summer 2016’s florals, slip into this chic pink maxi adorned with blue blossoms. The racerback design and empire waist can also easily create an hourglass figure.
